First Day of My Internship

The day I've been waiting for a long time has finally arrived! Today is the first day of my internship!

As I have mentioned in a previous post, I received a job offer from EchonLabs (Pvt) Limited. The starting date is today (30th June 2022). Yesterday my Human Resource Partner contacted me on WhatsApp to share the necessary information with me. She sent me a form to get the details to create my company email address. Then I received the instructions to set up my company email address.

Today morning my Human Resource Partner added me to a WhatsApp group with other trainees who joined today. She shared a document about the induction. It included some links to courses for trainees. She also shared with us the schedule for today. We had 3 sessions, 2 KT (Knowledge Transferring) sessions, and a session with our CEO.

  • Vurq app KT at 9.30 AM
  • ERP System KT at 11.00 AM
  • Tea with CEO at 1.30 PM

Vurq app KT

This session was conducted by an Associate PM/BA. Vurq is the app the employees must use to mark their attendance and tasks. We have a flexy hours work life. We must start before 10.00 AM and work for 8 hours a day. We must first 'Clock In'. Then we should start the timer before each task.

ERP System KT

This session was also conducted by an Associate PM/BA. EchonLabs has an ERP system that is used as the base system. This system is customized for the customer's requirements. She explains every functionality of this system. It was a bit confusing at first. We'll be familiar once we use this system for a while.

Tea with CEO

The final we had today was with our CEO. We had a friendly discussion and he asked us to introduce ourselves with basic information such as the town, university, what we're learning, and other facts such as the last movie we watched and our favorite food. Then he gave us an introduction to the company including its history and culture. The organization has a flat structure. He also told me the amount of course content I should complete within the first 2 weeks.

This concluded the first day of my internship...

Day 11: Gamedev.js Jam 2022

Today I built the Credits screen! I don't know whether this is the correct way to build the Credits screen but somehow I did it. I also use the grid for the first time. It is a useful tool to align objects. Then I built the logic to blink the texts that appear at the top of the screen. It took so much time to build the logic for the "Play Again" text. I will need to review the docs for the event system of GDevelop later.

Day 12: Gamedev.js Jam 2022

I submitted my game!!!!!!!  Today is the final day to submit the game and I did it! All I had to do today is to add some sound effects and some minor tweaks. I added a particle emitter object to appear when the boy dies. I tried to add a particle effect for the "You Won" text to appear as confetti but it didn't work. Then I watched a tutorial on how to export the game and upload it to itch.io . I followed the steps and uploaded my game. At first, the resolution was not right, so I had to change it. I need to learn about different resolutions for games to avoid such kinds of problems. I also created a GitHub repository for my game. Even though this is not a fun game to play (at least for me), I feel proud for creating this game and participating in this game jam. I might write another blog post on my experience with this game jam.
